//EDITOR’S NOTE

Get it in writing

B

SUSAN LEGGE

uying a brand-new condo offers an opportunity to get the home you really want. It can be a dream come true and an investment for the future, but don’t forget, it’s also a legal transaction. The term “get it in writing” has never been more important, since it outlines everything your new home will have in it, on it and around it.

Otherwise known as the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, the contract spells out the terms between you and your developer and/or builder. Without it, if there is a misunderstanding or disagreement, it’s impossible to prove what was originally promised.

Since buying a new condo is much more complicated than a resale transaction where the property likely

already exists, there is no set Agreement of Purchase and Sale or standard contract.

In some provinces, builders may have standard contracts prepared by the local home builders’ association or their newhome warranty program. Builders often prepare their own agreements, so these can vary from one company to another and from province to province.

Before you sign a contract, review it carefully with the builder representative, and ask questions to make sure you fully understand what’s in it. Your next step is to then take it to a real estate lawyer and have it reviewed. Once it is signed, it becomes a legal document, so seeking the services of an experienced lawyer is an important step toward ensuring that your dream home becomes a reality.

12 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | AUGUST 7 - 21, 2015

had the pleasure of an afternoon walk through Vancouver’s lovely and verdant West End last week, made even more enjoyable by the interesting history I learned from our tour guide, civic historian John Atkin.

Purchased in 1862 for $550, it turns out that the West End has been shaped by city planners from the very beginning.

From the original elegant mansions and Victorian family homes, to the sturdy three-storey, wood framed apartment buildings to the residential condos and towers of the 1960s and 1970s, there are examples of every era of Vancouver’s history preserved here, along with lush gardens, parks and pretty tree-lined streets.

The West End has been in a static period of development for a couple of decades now, but the current city

planning team has realized that as Vancouver grows and evolves, so must the West End. How this is to be accomplished is the source of much debate. Intracorp has taken on one of the first new projects in this new era, The Jarvis, in Davie Village; a condo/ rental/commercial building that will test the waters and hopefully provide something of a blueprint for the sensitive revitalization of this treasured Vancouver neighbourhood.

Is an inclusive, sustainable, responsible and practical plan for the West End possible? Certainly not everyone is going to agree on the way forward, but we can only hope that there’s a way to provide more homes for residents while preserving the historic, cultural and open-hearted community values that make this such a special place.

The Grove

PARKHOMES IN CLAYTON » by SUSAN M BOYCE

It’s official. The Grove in Surrey is a hit with buyers ranging from savvy singles and professionals to young families upsizing their lifestyle.

“Demand has been so strong that we accelerated our construction schedule and finished building our final phase months ahead of schedule,” says sales manager Elise Sangster.

“That means all our remaining homes are ready for immediate occupancy — which is great for families because they still have a wide range of plans to choose from and can be moved and settled in before school starts in the fall.”

16 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | AUGUST 7 - 21, 2015

NEIGHBOURHOOD EVOLUTION

“Almost three quarters of The Grove’s homeowners have now moved in, so there’s a definite neighbourhood ambiance evolving,” Elise says. “The outdoor pool has always been extremely popular in summer — and during this year’s hot weather it’s being enjoyed even more than usual.”

Adding yet another dimension to The Grove’s sense of community, Townline’s recent Community Barbeque was a perfect way for neighbours to meet and socialize. Burgers and hot dogs sizzled on the grill, face painters made kids of all ages giggle in delight, and JR-FM was on site spinning tunes that got toes tapping and hands clapping.

“It was exciting for us to be able to give something back to the people who’ve made The Grove such a success,” Elise says.

“Townline was one of the first builders in East Clayton, and The Grove will be our sixth development here, so we really are part of this neighbourhood. Buyers regularly tell me they appreciate the value of knowing they’re dealing with a company that has such an established reputation in the area.”

Demand has been so strong that we accelerated our construction schedule and finished building our final phase months ahead of schedule.

— Elise Sangster

WELCOME TO THE LIFESTYLE

Inside, The Grove offers spacious floor plans including flexible designs that include main floor powder rooms, entertainmentsized sundecks, and built-in workstations that encourage interaction between kids doing homework and parents prepping dinner.

“Plus many of these final homes have larger than average yards facing the grove of trees that’s the heart of this community,” Elise says. “Our buyers love having private, outdoor space where their kids can play, in addition to extensive clubhouse amenities.”

Then there’s The Grove’s connectivity to the surrounding area. “Everything here is so available on foot,” says one delighted homeowner. “We can walk to four grocery stores, five drug stores, the largest mall in the area, and a real Irish pub, the Dublin Crossing. There’s a fabulous veggies market beside Superstore and a flower store — which is great for when I just want to put a smile on my wife’s face.”

The Grove’s presentation centre and display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. daily, except Fridays, at 1–19433 68th Avenue in Surrey. Prices start at $279,900 with twobedroom and three-bedroom plans available.

OZ ECONOMIST PREDICTS REAL-ESTATE BUBBLE WILL BURST

DIANE DUFLOT

Former Vancouver Editor of New Home Guide, New Condo Guide and Home Decor and Renovations, Diane Duflot is currently enjoying the life of a freelance writer and editor.

She can be reached at diane.duflot@ypnexthome.ca

For more details on these stories, and for more real-estate news, visit nexthome.yp.ca/news

Australian economist Philip Soos predicts that the housing bubble in Australia’s capital cities is doomed to burst, and that market shares many similarities with Vancouver’s: the housing prices there have also risen drastically, and many hold Chinese offshore buyers responsible for this. Soos does not agree with this assessment. Rather, he holds 20 years of extensive domestic speculation responsible for the rise in housing prices and the impending burst. Soos believes that an influx of money from Chinese offshore investors might stave off the bubble’s burst for a while, but he sees the “bloodbath” as inevitable and thinks it might happen as soon as 2017.

VANCOUVER REAL-ESTATE DATA GAP

The president of Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) admits that there might be a “data gap” in regards to the degree of foreign ownership in the housing market in Vancouver.

To maintain the stability of the country’s real estate market this gap needs to be filled. Otherwise, there is a risk that foreign investors could pull out of the market if housing prices ever take a downturn. The CMHC is working to fill this gap, having polled condominium property managers on the percentage of homes owned by overseas investors while preparing its yearly fall rental vacancies report. Certainly, the subject of foreign ownership will remain a hot-button issue until sufficient data reveals that it is not the to blame for high cost of real estate in Vancouver.

CANADA’S FIRST COMMUNITY SOLAR GARDEN

Canada’s first community solar garden is coming…to the Kootenays. It will be located in the Nelson, a community that has always been somewhat forward thinking. The next steps for the project are for Nelson Hydro to finalize the costs and then to take the plan to city council for approval. As soon as this fall, Nelson 20 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | AUGUST 7 - 21, 2015

Hydro may be opening up pre-sales of panels to the community, and constriction may begin in late fall or early spring. If all goes as planned, Nelson will be the first Canadian town to have a community solar garden.

RULES ON REDEVELOPING BUILDINGS HURT RENTAL SUPPLY

It is, by now, an all-too familiar story: there is a fixed supply of single-family homes in Greater Vancouver and the ever-increasing population is exacerbating the issue of low supply. Due to mounting housing coasts, more and more residents are choosing to rent rather than buy, so vacancies have reached an all-time low of 0.5 per cent. Clearly, there is a dire need of new rental stock. A less familiar story is how Vancouver’s government is standing in the way of developing new rental housing. It started in 2007 with the establishment of a two-and-a-half-year moratorium on the demolition of existing rental buildings that contain six or more units in several Vancouver neighbourhoods.

Because the policy forbids owners of rental apartment buildings from redeveloping their properties, these continue to deteriorate. It might be time to let go of the draconian moratorium that prevents the market from regulating supply and demand. It might also be time to make it easier for developers to build the rental stock that tenants need by cutting the red tape and speeding up the approval process.

//FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

BUYING YOUR FIRST HOME?

Four tips to help guide your decision » by WAYNE KARL

WAYNE KARL

is an award-winning writer and editor with experience in real estate and business.

In Fundamentally Speaking, Wayne explores the basics – such as economic fundamentals – you need to examine when buying property.

He can be reached at wayne.karl@ypnexthome.ca or follow him on Twitter at Twitter.com/WayneKarl

When you’re buying your fi rst home, you are sure to be fi lled with many important questions. How much can you afford? How much will it all cost? Where do you really want to live, and can you afford the area? And, fi nally, what type of home do you want? The answers are very individual: it really depends on your situation – from the amount of your down payment to where you work to whether you have kids to other personal circumstances.

For your enjoyment while you live in your home, as well as for future resale potential, proximity to transportation, shopping, schools and other amenities is among the key determinants that affect your property’s appeal, and ultimately its value. After all, those are the qualities potential buyers look for when searching for a home; the more of them your house has when you go to sell, the more it will be attractive to a greater number of people.

While experts suggest you take a long-term view when buying a home, it’s also important to not look too far down the road.

Let’s be honest, your fi rst home may not be your dream home, and your needs and desires are sure to change throughout the various stages of homeownership.

So, while the answers to the above questions are specific to circumstances, there are also some common guidelines you can follow.

1

How much can you afford? Experts agree it is never a good idea to make yourself house-poor, and it is a very common mistake, particularly of first-time buyers, to buy more home than you can really afford. Meeting with a mortgage broker or your banker will help determine your full financial picture, assessing everything from your credit rating to how much you have saved for a down payment. Experts also suggest you “stress-test” your plan to see how well you could cope with higher mortgage payments brought on by rising interest rates.

2

How much will it really cost? Another common homebuyer mistake is not being prepared for all the closing costs involved: lawyer fees, land transfer taxes, utilities, insurance, and home inspection and appraisal fees and insurance.

Indeed, proximity to mass transit is something more and more people are looking for in their new home location. It may not be as simple as choosing to live in the city, suburbs or a small town.

you have determined your options for cost and location, you can then assess what types of homes are available in your price range and desired neighbourhood: Single-family detached, semidetached, townhome, duplex or condo?

Luna

WHERE LIFE GLOWS » by SUSAN M BOYCE AMAZING

NEIGHBOURHOOD

First let’s get something straight. If you think townhome equals small, it’s time to think again because there’s nothing petit about the lifestyle at Luna.

These homes are big, bold, bright, and utterly contemporary.

“Every Luna home is 2,200 square feet or more — meaning they’re larger than a typical detached home in West Abbotsford,” says sales manager Navneet Dhillon. “In other words, you’re getting four bedrooms, a big backyard, a choice of two- or three-level plans — all the features you’d associate with the single-family lifestyle — but with the convenience of maintenance free, strata living. And you’re getting a brand new home for around $100,000 less than you’d probably pay for something that’s 20 or 25 years old.”

INTERIOR PIZZAZZ

Inside, Luna is all about the good life — nine-foot ceilings on the main living level, natural stone fireplace surround, gourmet kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and even a skylight in the main bathroom. Now be honest, how often do you see a skylight in the bathroom? Plus there’s the convenience of a main floor powder room — just ask any young mom about how great this feature is in everyday life.

“Over the past few years West Abbotsford has become a very attractive neighbourhood, especially for families, because it’s so connected,” Navneet says.

“You’ve got great access to transit, so you really don’t need a car.

You’re about five-minutes from the Highstreet Shopping Centre and right next door to Abby Lane.

There are schools at all levels nearby, and getting to the hospital or even the airport is easy.”

Then there’s Luna’s proximity to recreation and social venues — everything from the Abbotsford Centre where you’ll find sports and live performances to the natural beauty of the many surrounding hiking, biking, and camping opportunities. No wonder Navneet says three of Luna’s final release of just 18 homes were sold within weeks of opening.

Luna’s presentation centre and display home are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 30748 Cardinal Avenue (at Mount Lehman Road off Blue Jay Road). Prices for this last opportunity to own a brand new home at Luna start at $379,900.

For more information call 778.895.LUNA (5862) or visit mylunahome.com.

South Surrey secrets

TAKE THE ROAD LESS TRAVELLED FOR SAVOURY RESTAURANTS, FASHION TROVES AND PARKS FOR IDLING AWAY WEEKENDS » by JANINE MACKIE South Surrey is that place where fearless kids jump into the ocean off a wooden pier in July, and come January lace up their skates and play hockey atop the frozen Serpentine River. Active retirees love its mild winters, foodies adore its diverse palate of restaurants and families flock here as a destination to achieve the suburban dream of owning a single-family home and a patch of grass.

With its beach-town vibe, top-rated schools, proximity to the US border, plus a plethora of parks, sports fields, golf courses, outdoor shopping malls and trendy new restaurants — South Surrey tops the radar for families of all ages looking for a safe, clean, vibrant place to set down their roots.

Charm is found in the juxtaposition of streetscapes – new family townhomes next door to hobby farms selling farm fresh eggs and bundles of garden dahlias for five dollars.

“You really couldn’t ask for a better community to raise kids,” says Moe Johal, owner of CJ Auto Repair, who has lived and worked in South Surrey for 30 years.

“I’ve seen a lot of changes over the years, from a community of grey hair to one that’s a healthy mix of young and old. It just keeps growing and growing!”

Sure you’ll find big box stores like Winners and Walmart here, plus fashion boutiques and outlets galore at The Shops at Morgan Crossing, but when it comes to style; it’s the fabulous independently owned boutiques that have South Surrey women looking runway ready.

On Saturday around 7pm, the lineup at South Surrey’s newest hot spot, Famosa Neapolitan Pizzeria (24th and Croydon) is stretched around the corner and down the block. For those with the patience to wait 34 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | AUGUST 7 - 21, 2015

Homes for all seasons Ocean view, fairway living, condo or singlefamily – there’s a home for every season and budget in South Surrey. High end is $4.5 million for an estate in the Elgin Chantrell neighbourhood, and best apartment price to be found is $140,000 around Sunnyside Park.

almost an hour for a table, the dining room is abuzz with conversation and rich pizza aromas. Manager Ken Mitchell suggests trying the Cavoletti, a pizza topped with oven roasted Brussels sprouts, gorgonzola cheese, dates, walnuts and a drizzle of honey. The kids at the adjacent table would rather spoon rich vanilla gelato in their mouths.

The Seahorse Grill on Sullivan St. in Crescent Beach has that “feels like home atmosphere,” and is a destination on Sunday nights for its prime rib special. The Sunflower Cafe on Beecher St. draws a loyal following for its real roast beef, turkey sandwiches with cranberry sauce, and homemade soups, while Tap Restaurant in the Rosemary Heights neighbourhood is a high-end fusion of French cooking and West Coast ingredients. When the mood strikes for a basket of fish and chips, locals flock to Hooked Fish Bar at Crescent Beach or the Fish Boat along Marine Dr. in White Rock. Need an amazing homemade dessert

Lots of new modern home projects underway -- Adagio, Royce and Duplex homes in the $659,000 ballpark are proving popular at Elevate at The Hamptons, a masterplanned community in Grandview Heights and beautiful single-family homes like Southbrooke on 10th Ave & 165th meet every luxurious whim for just over $1-million.

in a pinch? Be forewarned: it’s near impossible to stop at just one slice of the chocolate ganache cake made at Michaels’s Artisan Bakery & Cafe.

All this food talk may have you counting calories. With at least one or two gyms, personal trainers or rec centres found in each of South Surrey’s intermingling neighbourhoods, a balanced lifestyle is achievable. A trail run through the Sunnyside Urban Forest followed by a yoga class at the newly expanded South Surrey Recreation and Arts Centre is the perfect way to unwind.

For those times when you just want to get away from it all and enjoy the solitude of nature, Kwomais Point Park is a local secret – a romantic place to watch the sunset – tucked away behind 128th St. in Ocean Park overlooking the bay to Tsawwassen and beyond to Vancouver Island and the San Juan Islands. Barred owls have even known to be spotted in the forested trails that chicane through the park. Not far from here is 1001 Steps (end of 15A Ave off 126 A), a great alternative to the Stairmaster as you zigzag downwards, over and under the train tracks onto a rocky beach where crabs and starfish are plentiful and harbour seals are known to sunbathe.

Of course there’s a few secrets too sacred to be shared — like the amazing hairdresser who works from her South Surrey basement, or the fishing spot where seasonally you’re sure to reel in a wild coho salmon. But once you move here, you’re sure to discover a few gems of your own.

//Q&A

The Highlands at Sullivan Ridge (Marathon) is designed for a legal in-law suite on the lower level.

10 Minutes with Lynn Harrison CELEBRATE THE SINGLE-FAMILY HOME » by SUSAN M BOYCE For years, owning a single-family residence was considered the housing goal everyone aspired to. But with the proliferation of more affordable townhouse and condo developments, the single-family detached home seems to be losing some of its popularity. Or is it?

This issue, New Home Guide talks with Lynn Harrison, president of Harrison Marketing, about why it’s still cool to aspire to a house of your own in an increasingly condo-centric world.

Q: Why are buyers attracted to singlefamily, detached homes?

A: There’s an undeniable allure to owning your own piece of ground. Some of the reason are obvious: there’s physical separation between you and your next door 38 METRO VANCOUVER NEW HOME GUIDE | AUGUST 7 - 21, 2015

neighbour, you can change the look or even the structure of your home without being confined by strata rules, plus you’ll have more space for storage and future changes than you’d get in most condos.

But there are plenty of lifestyle benefits as well. For example, it’s tough to have a full vegetable garden on an apartment deck. A house creates the ability to grow fresh produce right in your backyard — just step outside and pick the fixings for a salad.

You can also do some incredible things to expand your indoor living space so it merges with your outdoor spaces. The easiest, of course, is adding a deck.

Then you can built a cover — something that’s often not allowed in strata living — making it usable year round. Then perhaps incorporate a Nanawall and you’ve just made a huge impact on your outdoor living and entertaining.

And something most people don’t think about, if you’re buying early in the building process, many builders allow a lot of customization. Things that will impact the livability of your home — adding a fireplace, changing the size of the rooms or the location of a window — usually features like this just aren’t possible in a strata home even if you’re buying a presale.

Plus, down the road when your needs change, there are plenty of renovation possibilities available to make your house perfect for that stage of your life.

Adding a fireplace to the second floor flex-room creates a cozy office/den at Cliffstone by Foxridge Homes.

Lynn Harrison

Q: What about the affordability factor?

A: It’s true that a house typically costs more to purchase than a townhouse, but builders are responding with some innovative solutions. Incorporating legal suites that could be used as a mortgage helper, an in-law suite, or a place for university-aged children to live so you don’t have to help them with rent is one increasingly common trend.

Contemporary houses are also much better designed and built than they were even 20 years ago, so your operating costs will be less.

Q: Then there’s the other side of affordability. How do single-family homes stack up in terms of long term value?

A: Historically, detached houses have shown more equity gain over time than condos or townhouses. Yes, there will always be the occasional market correction like the one we saw in 2008, but it comes down to being a simple case of supply and demand. In places like Vancouver, supply is already running out, and the Fraser Valley is already following that trend. And when demand outpaces supply, the price goes up.

In a few years, we probably won’t be talking about finding affordable houses in Langley, you’ll have to go much farther up the Valley.

Milner Heights by Vesta Properties incorporates an environmentally friendly eco-swale to handle storm water run-off and create an attractive community water feature.

Q: Any final thoughts?

A: The concept that a single-family neighbourhood means you’re living in a car-only zone is fading. Builders and city planners are now working together to create communities that accommodate today’s more active, outdoor-oriented lifestyles. Builders are thinking about things like hiking trails, cycling paths and green spaces when they look for properties to develop as master planned communities — either proximity to existing outdoor amenities or the ability to build them into the design. And that’s good for everyone.

Making your master bedroom your own » by JANE LOCKHART

Moving into a new space can be a fantastic experience, as you can start your design dream from scratch! That being said, it is sometimes difficult not to have a space that truly reflects who you are and your personality. Additionally, with the cost of moving into and purchasing a new home or condo, it may be difficult to completely outfit your entire home.

Since the average person spends 25 years sleeping throughout their life, the master bedroom is where you will spend the most time in your new home. When you love your bedroom, you will sleep more peacefully, and generally be happier. Therefore, the master bedroom should be where you invest your first dollars in your new home.

When decorating your new digs, start with the colour.

All builders have different rules pertaining to the paint they use in the house before handing it over. If given the

opportunity, have the painters paint with the colour and paint you would like to keep. If you are forced to choose between several shades of “builder beige” prior to moving in, make sure painting the bedroom takes priority. To choose a colour, first decide what type of feeling you want the room to have. If you want to be dramatic, pick a bold, deep colour. If you are looking for a “peaceful getaway,” pick a calming blue or green.

Next is the bed. It is so very important to invest in a good mattress.

A continuously restless sleep can lead to

so many negative detrimental side effects. Once this has been taken care of, is it time to tend to the bedding. Everyone has different needs when they are sleeping, some people like to be cool and others are always cold. Make sure you purchase sheets, duvets and comforters that will keep you comfortable while you sleep.

Now it is time for style. Depending on the budget, the bedding can be purchased or custom made from materials specifically picked to complement the paint and feeling of the room. This also gives a new homeowner a chance to purchase fabric for the window treatments.

Window treatments are another place that needs special treatment, especially

in a new space. A good deep sleep often depends a dark room. Lack of light will send a signal to the brain to shut off and go to sleep. You can achieve this by using blackout blinds or shutters and then layering these with coordinating fabric that complements both the bedding and the wall colour in a style that suits the feel of the room.

To finish off the new space, add artwork and accessories. This is where you will have an opportunity to inject personality into your new space.

Look at accessories as the vehicle to really convey the feeling of the space.

No matter what theme you are going for, accessories will carrying this feeling and create continuity throughout the space.

Once your new space is finished, take the time to soak it all in and enjoy every minute of it.
